Look in the tuning manual about 'lru_extended_statistics' parameter. You
can set this and start your database and gather stats over time. Then
looking at a table that is populated by the parameter you can determine how
many additional hits you will get with each buffer you add.
As far as a hit ratio of .59 if it is a data warehouse with a lot of adhoc
queries, that is not bad.
